Many athletes criticize IFSC

Adam Ondra is very critical towards the IFSC deal with FloSports and comments on Instagram. "20$ per month for watching IFSC livestreams is the most ridiculous decision ever made by IFSC. Sad, very sad indeed. Where is our sport going? Bad news for fans, athletes and sponsors." Also Stefano Ghisolfi, Jorg Verhoeven, Jakob Schubert, Katharina Saurwein have made their critical voice heard. On the picture by Eddie Fowke, the athletes at Meiringen gives their red card to the IFSC decision. At the same time, several athletes have just informed about the FloSports/IFSC deal on their Facebook page. In some cases, the athletes have actually been asked to make their voice heard in a comment that have received extreme number of likes, without any reaction from the athlete.
